Yay! Today I received my diploma (IN front of a few thousand people no less), and I must say, HELL YES. I am no longer bound to the California School System!
HOWEVER, I will be continuing my education. I'm taking a few years at a Community college to get credits to transfer to a Uni, and I need to carry a certain number of credits to mooch off insurance. MY required classes only add to about half; any suggestions for fun classes, maybe DIY related somehow?
Semi-related note, its "College of Sequoias" of Visalia, CA. ]
Wish me luck!
Love ya, maaaaan...

Look for Shop courses, like wood working, electronics, and metal working.
Congratulations. And good luck.
Congratulations - now go back to school and stay there AS LONG AS YOU CAN !!! Just some advice from a (semi) old guy. :D
And some classes to take? Sir Modulus had some good ones - metal working is a load of fun and very usefull just about anywhere - learn to weld and you can almost always pick up a job. Wood working skills will also save you a pile of money later in life - like when your wife wants to "re-model" the house. It might not seem like much now but it will pay off later.
AL
and... GOOD LUCK !!!... with your future schooling experiences ! ! !
Jeff -
The best to you. And make sure you enhance your basic life skills - math, reading, wood working, etc. You are already a DIY and your a long way ahead of most "KIDS" your age.
Best of luck

Good Luck Jeff !!!
I remember my graduation day like it was yesterday, it was 29 years ago! Yes, good advice written above: stay in school and learn!!!
My kids did and they drive better cars than I do :wink:
Peace!

I totally echo the metal and woodworking suggestions, but if you ever want to run your own business then something in that area could be a giant help too. I sure wish I had some basic business classes.
Take care,

once you get to the university, see if you can get credit as independent studdy from building effects! I saw the University of Virginia (?i think?) offered a course called "electronics for musical instruments," a 300 level physics class, where students build effects. See if you can get it in your school :-D
I found the web page - it was at University of Illinois...

Thanks, guys! I was considering taking another metal class; it's been a few years since ninth grade! Heh, maybe if the pictures are developed soon, I can show what my diploma and my ugly mug look like.
Yea...
